Damned For All Time / Blood Money

(albüm: Jesus Christ Superstar - 1970)

[Damned For All Time]

[Judas:]
Now, if I help you, it matters that you see
These sordid kinds of things are coming hard to me
It's taken me some time to work out what to do
I weighed the whole thing up before I came to you
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord

Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time

I came because I had to, I'm the one who saw
Jesus can't control them like he did before!
And furthermore, I know that Jesus thinks so, too
Jesus wouldn't mind that I was here with you
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord

Just don't say I'm
Damned for all time

Annas, you're a friend a worldly man and wise
Caiaphas, my friend, I know you symphathise
Why are we the prophets? why are we the ones
Who see the sad solution know what must be done?
I have no thought at all about my own reward
I really didn't come here of my own accord
Just don't say I'm damned
For all time

[Blood Money]

[Annas:]
Cut the protesting, forget the excuses
We want information; get up off the floor

[Caiaphas:]
We have the papers we need to arrest him
You know his movements, we know the law

[Annas:]
Your help in this matter won't go unrewarded

[Caiaphas:]
We'll pay you in silver cash on the nail
We just need to know where the soldiers can find him

[Annas:]
With no crowd around him

[Caiaphas:]
Then we can't fail

[Judas:]
I don't want your blood money!

[Caiaphas:]
Oh, that doesn't matter our expenses are good

[Judas:]
I don't need your blood money!

[Annas:]
But you might as well take it; we think that you should

[Caiaphas:]
Think of the things you can do with that money
Choose any charity give to the poor
We've noted your motives we've noted your feelings
This isn't blood money, it's a fee, nothing
Fee, nothing, fee, nothing more

[Judas:]
On Thursday night, you'll find him where you want him
Far from the crowds, in the garden of Gethsemane

[Choir:]
Well done, Judas
Good old Judas
